  • Interesting to see that the latest kerfuffle about Hunter Biden didn't propel his article, or the Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory, into the Top 10 for the past 2 weeks. As much debate as is going on on the article talk pages, you'd think they'd be up at #1 & #2 but I guess the nonstory doesn't have the global/national traction & interest that movies, TV shows or MMA fighters have.

  • People do be really grasping at straws about the Biden campaign logo -Gouleg🛋️ (TalkContribs) 15:32, 2 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, some of the memes are actually the purest nonsense! Of course the graphic designer who made the campaign logo needed a visual eye catcher. And red is known to do that job best. BTW the number of young persons wearing red sneakers in my urban environment is increasingly high. -- Just N. (talk) 17:15, 9 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
My second idea about the meme is a lot uglier. Aren' t a lot of American citizens/voters haunted by fear of any sort of socialism and hating China for *stealing* the inofficial No 1 position of leading world economy from the US? So by putting the Dems campaign logo into ugly framing context the anti-communist emotions are whipped up, at least in Republican readers. Indeed an ugly manipulation by drawing on mostly subconscious political emotion layers -> just by means of a socmedia meme. -- Just N. (talk) 17:34, 9 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
